Category: Useful resource lists

Here you’ll find a link to an Excel spreadsheet detailing the contents of all Hobbit / Middle-earth / Lord of the Rings SBG related content in the White Dwarf Magazine. Because it is a Dropbox link synchronized to my computer, the file will automatically be updated if I make any changes in the document.

I’ve ordered the content in the categories ‘Rules’, ‘Scenarios’, ‘Terrain’, ‘Battle Reports’, ‘Painting’ and ‘Other’. Advertisements and new releases are often not included in my file as they are not very useful to me. If I spot them I’ve added them to ‘Other’. The ‘Rules’ category may also not be the most accurate, since they are often outdated by now and I mostly wanted to list Rules that could still be relevant today (such as ‘Fighting in Lake-town’) and Scenarios.

In principle I’ve added all White Dwarfs since the inception of LotR SBG, but during the period where WD became weekly, I’ve only included those issues that contained at least some image from LotR/Hobbit SBG. If all cells are empty for an issue there could still be LotR/Hobbit content, but it’s likely very minor or just images of (at that time) new releases or army showcases. If all cells have a ‘-‘, then there are (in principle) no Middle-earth related articles in that specific issue.

Please note on the numberingWhite Dwarf is different for different regions. I’ve used the UK version in this overview, I belief the US version is one behind on some or all issues. Also, the content in WD may differ for different regions.

Hope you enjoy! If you believe there are mistakes or you have comments or suggestions, feel free to reply!

FAQWhat do I need to have all available information for Battle Companies?In order to have every officially available rule, scenario and battle company for Battle Companies, you’ll need:

The Middle-earth Battle Companies book (2017)

White Dwarf November 2017

White Dwarf January 2018

White Dwarf February 2018

White Dwarf April 2018

White Dwarf June 2018

White Dwarf August 2018

Furthermore you’ll need the main rulebook for the main game (Middle-earth SBG) and the profiles of your battle company, which can be found in the Armies of The Lord of the Rings or Armies of The Hobbit profile book.

What is The Search For The Stone?It is a campaign that is like The Quest for Fornost in the Main Battle Companies Rulebook, with the difference being that it is written mainly for the Evil Player. Like the original quest, it can also be played by the other player, though this might make less sense thematically.
